i want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life - january 2010

1.31.10:  Sunshine on my one day off a week - I love the sunshine, and I definitely don't get enough of it since I'm at work all day Monday through Friday, then also spend my Saturdays sitting in a classroom and on the van.  The chances of sunshine on a Sunday in Cincinnati aren't very high, so it's incredible when the sun shines like it did today.
1.30.10:  Leslie - I wish I could climb with her tomorrow.
1.29.10:  Alexa - She always makes me laugh.  Alexa has grown so much in the past few years, and I'm really proud of her for handling the Kelley situation so well and finding the humor in a kind of scary (Single White Female scary) situation.
1.28.10:  Michael - Of the past five years that I've known Mike, I think he's only opened up to me once before tonight.  I'm really glad we talked tonight.  I learned more about him than I probably have ever known.
1.27.10:  Alexa - I'm so glad that she's my best friend and that she's not like most other girls.  She's such a good person, and she works so hard at constantly becoming better.
1.26.10:  Kreena - She always does a great job of managing our calls.
1.25.10:  Michael - We've always had a great time together over the last years as friends of our best friends, Tom and Alexa.
1.24.10:  Meghan - I'm really excited to read in her wedding!!!
1.23.10:  The Kellogg Marketing Conference - What an awesome conference.  I learned so much today, and met some incredible people as well as catching up with some old friends.
1.22.10:  Martin - I absolutely would not have been able to drive to Chicago today.  Thankfully, I rode up with Martin.
1.21.10:  Vicky - She made me feel okay today.
1.20.10:  Catching a break - The overnight shipping was 15 minutes late, so I was able to ship to Target just in time.
1.19.10:  Mister Griffith - He's going to make the transition from Laura seamless, hopefully, not at the expense of himself though.
1.18.10:  Passionate people - The people who work at Wheelie Fun are so passionate about what they do.  It's incredible to work during the day on something that they love so much.
1.17.10:  Three day weekends - So I've worked all day today, but it doesn't feel so bad because I have tomorrow off to do my homework, more work work and run errands.
1.16.10:  Good beer - I'm glad I actually like good beer.  Smithwick's is exactly what I needed tonight.
1.15.10:  Kevin's love for food and cooking - I definitely reap the benefits.
1.14.10:  Sleep - I decided to not stay up all night, and I slept for a few hours instead.
1.13.10:  Mentoring - I've had wonderful mentors throughout my career, and I hope I am being a just as wonderful mentor for my mentees.
1.12.10:  Having a good life - I am very lucky to be employed with a great job and living the way I do, particularly with all of my travel.
1.11.10:  Jerry - He is my hero.
1.10.10:  Flirting - A cute boy at the gym and another very cute boy at the wine shop reminded me that there's still hope for me even though I am undatable at the moment.
1.9.10:  Commitment - I'm pretty sure the only reason I'm going to finish school at this point is that I'm committed.
1.8.10:  Mom & Dad - They consistently remind me of the need for balance in life and all the wonderful experiences I've had.
1.7.10:  Karl - What an incredible and inspiring person.  I hope that Karl finds all that he is looking for in this world.
1.6.10:  Mister Griffith - He is going to make a fabulous Brand Manager.  I think the Business will do just as well under his lead when Laura goes on maternity leave.
1.5.10:  The Oakley Post Office - They let me slip in a minute after closing, and I was able to pack Emily's birthday present outside for an extra 15 minutes.
1.4.10:  CLigz - Christine is the one person who got me through the day.
1.3.10:  Going to bed early last night - Sometimes the FOMO makes us make poor decisions.  I definitely made the right one.  I would have never survived today otherwise.
1.2.10:  Breaks - Today was a break from life.  I woke up at 9:30, ate Dim Sum, wandered around SoHo and Nolita, relaxed with my brother, and didn't once think about work or school or anything but what I was doing at the time.
1.1.10:  Jon - I love my big brudder.  He's an incredibly interesting person with an incredible and interesting life with incredible and interesting friends.  Today, I joined him and his friends for the Polar Bear Swim and New Yangs Day, a second serving of Yangsgiving.
